It is obviously a fake, but even a cursory look on YouTube finds half a dozen versions, all claiming that it is the largest turtle (sic) in the world, and that it was found at a named location in the Middle East.
The individual is clearly a model, but why it should be on the back of a huge truck in the Middle East I have only one (outlandish) suggestion.
What if the model is a reconstruction of _Colossochelys atlas_, the largest terrestrial tortoise known, being transported through the middle east to a museum or such? Far fetched I know, but it is a possibility.
Well hold your breath!! There are others like this one!! Have you seen what's going on in The Simpsons when they awake? They destroy your town!! So just don't look at them!! Please! Just don't look!!
